and the truck is big........maybe too big for a small quiet bloke like me:-)

They have to shoe horn that V8 goodness somewhere.  I am sure its about 300mm wider and 500mm longer than the old girl, but the grin you wear will be worth it

agree, they are a beast. I test drove one 2 weeks ago and took at back after about 500m. Very quickly realised that the longer I sat in it, the chances of getting out would get less.

would be a lot nicer on and offroad than a ute.

Ok what about a 76 series wagon ? Not as big as a 200 but still plenty of grunt and tough as nails ?

Fuji's is a good rig IMO. Thought comfort was good, though I'm used to ute's and rough old trucks!

Would be nice if they were geared a bit better though.

Got a auto turbo diesel paj at work.
First impression are that it seems pretty good.
Nice responsive engine and the auto changes quickly.
Factory rear diff lock.
For a tourer and weekend beach rig reckon you can't go wrong.
Not too bad seats too.

Well after seeing the burnt out FJ on Fraser post, we've settled on a new Navara V6 Turbo Diesel. Managed to find a white one today and just wrapping up the deal with the local dealer. Definitely won't be a tradie truck, so watch for a new thread to come soon..........
It'll be a sheep with bling and a smile:-)
